Answer 1

Android Kotlin

Try this below code for intent to chrome browser in kotlin.

val uri = Uri.parse("googlechrome://navigate?url="+"https://stackoverflow.com/")
val i = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, uri)
if (i.resolveActivity(this@MainActivity.packageManager) == null) {
   i.data = Uri.parse("https://stackoverflow.com/")
}
this@MainActivity.startActivity(i)

Answer 2

I opened my Safe Browser App with getting package name from Google play, the same way you can open for chrome by default also:

Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
intent.setData(Uri.parse("http://Your URL"));
intent.setPackage("com.cloudacl");  // package of SafeBrowser App 
startActivity(intent);

You can replace package com.cloudacl with this com.android.chrome to open chrome.
